Downtown Living Near Food and Fun

Hey Pat.. that pic of the pagoda thingy is dear to me... 20 years ago I drove a concrete truck, in DC, I poured the concrete for one side of those pillars that support that what ever you call it that spans the steet.

I've not thought of that in 20 years, not till I spotted your photo, thanks for the memories! Driving a truck fed my family through the 80's

Hi Pat, Great photo and a really smart post. I need to do a few of these for some more hyperlocal posts.

that is so great....I love the urban feel of a real downtown area...but you need restaurants and shopping to make it a home....great post.

Pat, that is very cool! I am loving the pagoda thingy there, just looks so different compared to the buildings in the background. We just don't have anything like that here, LOL.

When my best college buddy moved to DC (a long time ago, longer than I'll admit)  he lived around Dupont Circle.  My favorite place was Adams Morgan (I think that the name??).  After all, at the time we were already aging hippies!

That's where the old Griffith Stadium used to be!  And where I attended my first Redskins game...

Isn't it wonderful to see downtown areas buzzing with new life?  The urban lifestyle is enjoying a renaissance.

Patricia, it is awesome to be so close to so many things.  How do you choose which restaurants or sources of entertainment to visit?

The Kalifornia Kid aka "Vegas Bob" would like to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful happy (Valentines Day) ... ;o)

When I clicked on this page that photo brought back immediate memories of great times in DC! I will be back the first half of April!

Hi Pat... I remember living in DC back in the 80's how run down and dangerous that area could be.  It's so nice to see how vibrant it seems to be once again!
